I Wish It Would Rain
Ooh, ooh (whoa)
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another, and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you, it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so badly, I wanna go outside (such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying eases the pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain
I just wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh, baby, let it rain (rain, rain)
Oh yeah, let it rain
Day in, day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against my windowpane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (crying) crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the world outside, my tears, I refuse to explain
Ooh, I wish it would rain (how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh, baby, let it rain, let it rain (let it rain)
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (rain, rain, rain, rain)
Oh, let it rain
Oh, yeah, yeah, listen, let it rain (let it rain)
I'm a man, and I've got my pride (let it rain)
'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another, and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you, it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so badly, I wanna go outside (such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying eases the pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain
I just wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh, baby, let it rain (rain, rain)
Oh yeah, let it rain
Day in, day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against my windowpane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (crying) crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the world outside, my tears, I refuse to explain
Ooh, I wish it would rain (how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh, baby, let it rain, let it rain (let it rain)
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (rain, rain, rain, rain)
Oh, let it rain
Oh, yeah, yeah, listen, let it rain (let it rain)
I'm a man, and I've got my pride (let it rain)
'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside
